An alert neighbor calls the Knoxville Fire department and helps keep an apartment fire from spreading.
KFD received the call Saturday for a porch on fire at the Addison at Sutherland. The neighbor also alerted the person inside about the fire.
Thanks to the quick actions of the neighbor, the fire was quickly brought under control through the use of a portable fire extinguisher. KFD was able to completely put the fire out on their arrival.
The building’s exterior wall suffered minor damage.
Thanks to a quick-thinking neighbor, the damage was limited and likely prevented a much larger fire on this frigid December morning.
